When going to Germany we can ask ourselves, where should we go? There is definitely lots to see for the little time that we normally have, so we have to choose. In my personal list, the must-see locations are:
- Berlin
- Hamburg
- Bamberg
And even though you are probably saying, "Where is Bamberg? Who has seen this town?" it is a very traditional town in northern Bavaria. It is considered one of the most romantic of German cities, very colonial – typical German. It is a very interesting location and was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO.
There are also many activities to do: sports, sight seeing, going to museums and theaters, and enjoying the different breweries in town. The people here where very nice, and I really enjoyed my time there.
In regards to Hamburg, it was just beautiful. Being a port city makes it even more beautiful than any other city I have visited. It is a combination of port with the colonial and modern architecture. There are endless activities to do here: walking on the docks, taking a boat to the nearby sites, and sightseeing. There is a lot of night life, and it is all condensed within one region of the city so it is very easy to go from place to place. There is a lot of green in the city: parks, flower park arrangements, and they are very well taken care of.
Regarding Berlin, all in all it has its own beauty, not just because it is the capital, but there is so much history in this city. Everywhere you go there is history, and everything is interesting. Activities are endless and you never finish going around the city since it is so large.
